simsalaBIM Academy is run by TARCON (TARCON homepage), a BIM consultancy based in Estonia. We’ve spent years working on real construction projects — coordinating models, catching clashes before they become problems on site, and helping teams actually use the data they’re paying to create.
We started this platform because the same questions kept coming up. Estimators still doing quantity takeoffs from 2D drawings. Models handed over at project end instead of guiding the work. People on site with no idea the model even exists.
The gap isn’t technical — it’s training. Most BIM courses are built for software trainers, not construction professionals. We built ours differently.
Every course here is based on real project work. You’ll use actual IFC files, see real coordination problems, and leave with something you can open in your own project the next day.
Our office is at Jalgpalli tn 1, Tallinn, Estonia — but our courses are fully online, so you can join from anywhere.
